META: incomplete
You can test whether running under threaded env via: C>
#ifdef USE_ITHREADS
/* whatever */
#endif
When the server is running under the threaded mpm
Cthreaded_mpm> is set to true.
Caveats:
All per-server data is shared between threads, regardless of locking,
changing the value of something like ap_document_root changes it for
all threads. Not just the current process/request, the way it was in
1.3. So we can't really support modification of things like
ap_document_root at request time, unless the mpm is prefork. we could
support modification of modperl per-server data by using
r-Erequest_config in the same way push_handlers et al is
implemented. But it is not possible to use this approach for anything
outside of modperl (ap_document_root for example).
